Touched By Story

December 21, 1986

I WAS touched by your Pearl Harbor Day Insight section article about the USS Utah, lost in the Japanese attack on De. 7, 1941. I'm just now learning in my young life -- I am a senior at Apopoka High School -- that the cost of war is great and I respect everyone who fought and/or died to keep our land free. My family luckily was spared in World War II and during the Korean conflict, but the stories my father tells me make me think of all the people and families who weren't. This is why I honor the men who died, not only on the USS Arizona but on the battleship Utah too.

Mist came to my eyes. Congratulations for a positive and uplifting story.
